Waydroid on Galaxy Note4 (treltexx)

Edit (20/01/2025) NEW INSTRUCTIONS HERE


First of all a huge THANKS to Erfan Abdi who helped me to make this happen.

This instruction is for SFOS > 4.4 (I've tested on 4.6)

Limitations (list just a few):
- Camera, GPS, BT don't work within Waydroid (there are is down to the old HAL and probably cannot be fixed, or not easily at least)
- Battery is set to 85% by default and doesn't reflect the real state
- Sometimes you need to take the battery out (when shutting down SFOS) otherwise the device gets rebooted (this is an issue at the SFOS side, I'll try to fix it later)
- etc.

What works (list just a few):
- Touch and screen
- Network
- Sensors (except the one listed above)
- Sound (routed to the connected BT device, it must be connected in SFOS)
- Install Android apps from stores like UpToDown store app and F-Droid
- Install Android apk from the SFOS command line: waydroid app install <path-to-the-app.apk>
- Gapps/Magisk can be installed (have not tried it). Instruction: https://github.com/casualsnek/waydroid_script
- GAPPS system image is available and that works well. Once the device is registered at Google, The Google Play Store is available and is working great.
- etc.

Tips: (Kind of app integration)
You can start any Android app from the app drawer. If the full UI is started, the app will take its place otherwise it starts in a new window. If you "close" the app with the virtual Home, Back or Recent app icons, you can start any new app just like SFOS's native ones.
